The state-owned company Borzen, responsible for distributing state subsidies and aid for electricity production – including to Prime Minister’s company Star Solar – paid all employees an additional gross salary in early March.
For this, they spent €123,761. Since they have around 40 employees, each received approximately €3,094 for successfully distributing state funds for electricity production last year.
However, the head of this state-owned company, Mojca Kert, has not yet received this performance bonus. Kert, who previously worked at Gen-I and ran as a candidate for Svoboda in the last parliamentary elections (though she was not elected), was later appointed by Robert Golob to lead Borzen. The notice regarding the payment of the extra salary for the successful allocation of state funds reads as follows:
Despite not receiving the additional salary bonus along with the other employees, Kert, who oversees the distribution of subsidies and bonuses, is not particularly affected, as she is rewarded in other ways. The latest available data from Borzen’s annual report shows that for the last four months of 2023, when she took over the leadership, she received a salary of €42,801 – over €10,000 per month – plus a €2,547 Christmas bonus and performance reward, along with an additional €4,815 success bonus. She was very successful. All figures are gross. Additionally, she received €760 in holiday pay, which is likely net.
She did not do too badly for just a few months:
I previously reported that Kert recently purchased a new electric Škoda Enyaq Sportline. The available purchase contract shows that the car, which is financially advantageous for executives as the state has exempted them from paying a benefit tax for private use, cost €53,760.
